What is Bulk Payment EFT/ACH Form – San Diego County, CA?
The Bulk Payment EFT/ACH Form is the San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector (SDTTC) form that accompanies a bulk property tax payment sent by Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) or Automated Clearing House (ACH) credit, with the credit date, amount, number of bills and contact details.
The form is headed "Option 1: EFT/ACH Payment Instructions" and is meant for property tax payments. Its top block prints the payee, County of San Diego Treasurer-Tax Collector, the receiving bank (JP Morgan Chase Bank), the ABA/routing and account numbers and the county code 37. Use the numbers exactly as printed on the current form.
The form does not list the tax bills. Those go on a separate pre-formatted Excel spreadsheet that the county provides, and the form says not to mail payment stubs for tax bills appearing in the Attachment D listing.
The lower part of the form is the part you complete: credit date, credit amount, number of bills, contact name, phone number and email, an authorized signature with printed name, and an address for any refund or overpayment. The form carries the revision mark REV. 01/26 and the SDTTC address, 1600 Pacific Highway Rm. 162, San Diego, CA 92101.
Who needs to file Bulk Payment EFT/ACH Form – San Diego County, CA?
Payers who settle several San Diego County property tax bills in one EFT/ACH credit use this form. The form asks for the number of bills and the total credit amount, and it is sent together with the Excel spreadsheet listing the bills.
- A company or other payer paying a group of tax bills in one transfer completes the bottom portion and names a contact person.
- The person who signs must be an authorized signer: the form has an Authorized Signature line and a Print Name line.
- The refund section tells the county where to send any refund or overpayment, so the payer's company name, attention line and address go there.
The county's tax forms page describes a different route for paying single bills: the online payment system, where you search by parcel number or mailing address for secured bills, or by year and bill number for unsecured bills. A payer using that system does not need this form. The form itself says nothing about who may sign for another person.
When to file Bulk Payment EFT/ACH Form – San Diego County, CA
The form, with the Excel spreadsheet, is due by April 2, 2026, according to the REV. 01/26 form. Payment timing is stricter: funds must settle in the county's bank account on or before the delinquent date of April 10, 2026 to avoid penalties, and the form warns that funds may take 3 to 5 days to settle. Because of that settling time, the form urges you to act early rather than at the deadline.
These dates are printed on this revision of the form. The form sets no separate rule for other tax years, so check the current revision at sdttc.com before you pay.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Sending the payment to Wells Fargo; the form says Wells Fargo is no longer the county's bank and that such payments will result in penalties and fees.
- Waiting until the delinquent date to send funds; they must settle on or before April 10, 2026 and may take 3 to 5 days to settle.
- Emailing the form without the Excel spreadsheet that lists the property tax bills being paid.
- Leaving out the company name and amount in the email subject line, which can delay processing.
- Mailing payment stubs for tax bills that appear in the Attachment D listing, which the form says not to do.
- Leaving requested fields blank; the form says all information requested must be provided to ensure timely processing.
- Submitting the form after April 2, 2026, the date the form and spreadsheet are due.
- Omitting the refund address block, so any refund or overpayment has no destination.
